LIBERAL ARTSUNIVERSITY TRANSFER

EXPLORE A WORLDOF NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The Liberal Arts and University Transfer (LAUT) programs at Craven Community College chart a path for student success that is affordable and of the highest quality, which gives students the freedom to transfer to any university program to pursue a bachelor’s degree and more. By pursuing degrees that include an Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), or Associate in Fine Arts (AFA), students are able to build a foundation for personal growth and development that furthers their educational dreams.

The journey toward your bachelor’s degree begins here at Craven Community College. As an accredited college that has served Craven County for more than 50 years, we have established a reputation of providing local education options that are reputable and easily transferable to colleges and universities, particularly those located in North Carolina.

Students who complete the AA or AS are

guaranteed junior status at a state-

supported university

ASSOCIATE IN ARTSThe Associate in Arts (AA) degree is a 60-hour degree program designed for students who plan to transfer to a college or university and complete a Bachelor of Arts degree. This degree leads students to develop a strong foundation in English, fine arts/humanities, social/behavioral sciences, mathematics, and natural sciences. The coursework within the AA meets most freshman and sophomore requirements at the baccalaureate level.

ASSOCIATE IN ENGINEERINGThe 60-hour Associate of Engineering (AE) program is designed to prepare students to transfer into one of the five ABET accredited engineering programs in North Carolina. Within the AE, coursework includes upper level mathematics and general education credits, and an Intro to Engineering course (EGR 150) which helps students understand and choose from the multiple specialties within engineering. Students completing the AE are encouraged to double major with an AS.

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCEThe Associate in Science (AS) degree is a 60-hour degree program designed for students who plan to transfer to a college or university and complete a Bachelor of Science degree. The AS degree not only emphasizes natural science and mathematics, but also provides students with a solid foundation in English, fine arts/humanities, and social/behavioral science, as well as includes enough elective hours to allow students to further explore areas of interest. The coursework within the AS meets most freshman and sophomore requirements at the baccalaureate level.

ASSOCIATE IN FINE ARTSCraven CC offers two Fine Arts degrees, the Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts (AFA-Visual) and Associate in Fine Arts in Music (AFA-Music). The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree is a 65-hour program designed for students intending to transfer to a college or university to complete a Bachelor in Arts degree, a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree, or a Bachelor in Music degree. Twenty-eight semester hours are dedicated to a general education core, but 36 hours are remaining for students to take a deep dive into their study of music or art.

The AFA program is also perfect for those wanting a comprehensive study of music or art without pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
